The Inescapable Truth

I never learnI'll never learnThere'll be no learning for meno A.B.Cno alphabetAll I get is the burning taste at the back of my throatwhen my body's on fireand I choke on the smoke from it.

I never learncan't turn it aroundI'm stuck to the ground that I knowwhere I leave a trail of destructionwherever I goand I'm falling apartdon't have the heart for a fight,falling hairfailing sightmemory lossspitting out moss from my (oh so dry) dayit's always the waythere's no learning for me.

I'm struggling through a sea and the sea's made from sandand there's no one about to give me their handI'm alone in a land I don't know any moreand I can't find the door to get out.

So, I take a bottle of 'Jake'it eases the ache in my head by fogging my mind.Then I find I don't mind any moredon't look for the doordon't want a way outI shall stay in the sea sifting sandmaking castles in the landof the lost.
